Galway Hornpipe / Kildare Hornpipe / The Stack O’ Wheat / Peter Wyper’s Hornpipe by Jimmy Blue

Jimmy-Blue-family-217x300A set of hornpipes.

Sometimes known as “the provost of Forgandenny”, referring to the Perthshire village he made his home, Jimmy Blue became a household name and an international performer as a Scottish dance band musician, his button accordion prowess taking him from rural halls, through widespread theatre and television work with Andy Stewart to playing before audiences of thousands in New York’s Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House.

As a contemporary observed some years ago, meeting the snappily dressed Blue in the street, complete with briefcase, you’d be hard put to realise that he was a world-class accordionist – or that he had driven a pair of Clydesdale plough horses during his younger days.

Jimmy Blue was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2014.
